How to Stop PLEX from auto scanning my libraries?

General Discussions
1

Every day around 10 pm, PLEX auto-scans my libaries. Every time this occurs, it seems to cause an issue where the only fix is to reboot my cloud and try to reconnect my plex, and try to cancel the scan. Sometimes I catch the scans before they get too far, but it’s annoying to remember to catch it to stop.

Whenever I select to have PLEX to scan a library, I never have any issues! It is only when PLEX auto-scans.

Hopefully my image below loads, but as you can see, I do not have it checked to scan my library automatically and I do not have it checked to scan my library periodically. Any ideas would greatly be appreciated because, after months of dealing with this, I’m at the end of dealing with it!

Check your scheduled tasks in ‘Settings>>Settings>>Scheduled Tasks’ and see if you have something at 10am and modify its properties to stop the scan or update of libraries.

Thank you for the suggestion. Everything was checked in scheduled tasks but listed as 2 am. I unchecked all and changed the time.

This worked perfectly! I waited a couple of days, and found that I had no issues after making those changes!
